Latvian media have been trying to get answers out of Petr Aven, a Russian oligarch banker, as to the extent of his involvement in a new festival started by Verbier founder Martin Engstroem.

Russian Wikipedia has Aven listed as the 19th richest man in Russia. He is half-Latvian and head of Russia’s largest private bank.

And a great philanthropist.

    Sounds like it will be another shindig for rich corporations and their guests.

    Money laundering. Like modern art.

    Martin has lived very well on this sort of thing for years. UBS Euros and Dollars flowed for years with little accounting. Disgusting.
